The 25 - Catwoman

Let's keep the ball rolling with the strong ladies.

If you grew up watching the Adam West Batman TV series, you're familiar with Catwoman. They had three different ladies playing the role, but Julie Newmar was my favorite and even though I was a little kid I knew there was something special about her.

Batman never hit her, nor Robin, but she seemed to always cause trouble for Batman again and again. And I remember thinking how weird that was that Batman took it so easy on a criminal. That's when I realized she was using her sexuality as a weapon. That's not the words I said to myself, but there was an understanding. Since then, Selina Kyle has continued to cause trouble for the Batman, sometimes being on the side of the angels and most times just being on her own side. She's sexy, smart and knows how to get in and out of trouble.

She definitely had to make The 25, and here she is. I really wanted to capture her sexuality without making it gratuitous. My goal was to capture a "I didn't mean to" look on her face and I think I did pretty well. This bad girl is up in the store and is ready to go.

Tanoshiboy started off as a nickname but is now the design and illustration blog for Salvatier Studios. Here you can see new original sketches, works-in-progress, finished work, and read about creative inspiration and knowledge on branding and marketing. I started this blog to share my passion and experiences in design with fellow artists and those in need of design.
